You call me Grandma one more time....and a trip to the Thompson B&B

It's the weekend!  Not that it matters so much for me except I get to go out today.  Going to lunch with Lisa and Logan.  Mexican, of course.  It's a bit crowded out and again I'm a little uncomfortable with my walker.  I don't want to be, but I am.  Lisa may have noticed this, I'm not sure, but either way, when she called me "Grandma", it pretty much made me crack up and threaten her with physical violence as soon as I could manage it.  Salsa and laughter really make things right with the world.

After lunch, I went home to get ready for my trip to Pendleton County, KY!  I pretend it 's my southern house.  Tim and Renee picked me up so I could stay at their house.  I tease them that it is like a Bed and Breakfast.  I just have to sit there and they bring me food.  And the Strawberry Shortcake Renee makes...to die for!  Of course, when I can walk to the barn without Renee holding my hand, I'm sure I'll be working in the horse stalls again.  But I'll take the pampering while I can!

 Besides the relaxing and good food at Renee's, the other reason I wanted to stay was so I could go to church the next day.  It was one week I did not want to miss.  One of our past pastors, Curt Degraaff, would be preaching and I adore him.  Calvary Baptist has really been blessed with great preachers. 

Renee got threatened with violence, also.  She saw one of those scooters and said, "That's next!".  I think the threats didn't really work, though.  While I was scolding her, I ran my walker into the wall.  But, perhaps because of that, people let me cut in line to see Pastor Curt.  I'm kind of diggin' the walker license!  (Tim wants to use the license to get him on all the rides at Kings Island without waiting....)

The day continued great.  Tim and Renee handed me off to my family and I got to see everyone.  We had a great dinner and were just generally silly.  My niece enjoyed helping me walk by getting behind me and pushing my walker for me.  It was very cute, "I'll help Meeps!" 

The weekend was a super time compared to my stay at the hospital and the upcoming week of physical therapy.  But, I really want to ditch this walker, so bring it!
